The modern world is very connected. Why aren’t we? Am travelling, in places where a few years ago this post would have been impossible. My phone with 5G keeps us connected whilst frogs croak and birds sing. Our AirBNB hosts are anonymous except for a few emails and texts. Language barriers are real, but the humanity barriers should not be. As a society, we need to be more social. "Whilst" is me poking at the AI generated reviews that used that arcane word.
